I have the platinum and it’s $0 because I’m military. If you’re traveling multiple times per month yes. If you only travel a few times per year I don’t know that the $700 is worth it

AMEX has many offerings. Whether a card is worth it just depends on which card it is and what you’re using it for.

For example, if your biggest monthly spend is on food/groceries it makes a ton of sense to get the Gold card. But if your biggest spend is travel, it makes more sense to get the Platinum.

As a company I think they’re great but the rest just depends which card you’re even talking about.

I recently found out my Amex platinum allows one free Amex gold card auth user for free - another benefit to the plat as it allowed me to cancel my blue cash preferred (and its annual fee) which I primarily used for grocery benefit

Depending on how much money you have in brokerage, you’ll get a discount or free. I suggest checking that out.

it depends on your category spending

Definitely worth it!! But just depends on what you need.

There’s definitely better cards out there that offer more ROI like Chase CSR. I’m canceling my AmEx next month.

People selling risky assets at the lows just to pile into safe heavens that barely appreciate seems like an logical investment strategy. Please stop. Invest in broad indexes and throw away the keys. If anything buy more as everyone sells. This is not rocket science, but as we know investing in difficult times brings out animal spirits. And animals are dumb…Good luck all

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
